At the end of the day, musical mindset is the way to go. Being analytical can certainly be useful, but it has its place: in the practice room when working out the mechanical aspects. However, the best performers (typically) have the music at the foremost and sometimes the only thing in their minds. I have struggled keeping the analytical side in check in the past. It was only until my junior recital earlier this year where I truly felt like I let go and let the music flow through my person :)
Musical mindset MUST dominate at all times.... because Music IS the purpose of everything. Whereas, the analytical aspect really only has its place in your practice and rehearsal sessions... so you can practice efficiently and effectively by BREAKING DOWN the passages where you're having challenges and focusing on them REPEATEDLY... until you get them right for at least 5 times... plus at least 2 days of multiple times.
when I was a teenager I would go to sleep listening to Wynton Marsalis music, I would wake up listening to his music, i would go out and still continue listening to him play. I still listen to him today. Hes my number 1 trumpet player
Happy to hear you were daydreaming, 10:00. I daydreamed too when I was 10 years old, listening to Roger Voisin. The difference is that you have a natural gift for trumpet playing. I could practice 24 hours a day and could never be the same caliber of player as you. Thank you for showing us all what the trumpet is capable to sounding like.
Thanks for the video; it's great to hear more about your approach to trumpet playing and music in general! Regarding the degree vs no degree conversation; it's interesting that a lot of what you said echoes what I think about getting a degree in just about any field. I work at a university in engineering, and my experience is that much of the value comes from taking advantage of the community and resources available to students that are harder to find if you're not part of an institution. You can learn physics or calculus from a book if you're sufficiently motivated, but getting a degree lets you network with other students and professors, join extra-curricular student groups, attend interesting lectures and events, work in research, go to job fairs, etc. In a future video, I'd love to hear how you approach articulation.
My number 1 sound ideal from when I was young and still to this day is a cornet player: David Daws. After that I'd have to write a list of at least a 100 different players but a couple of big ones are Höfs, Håkan, Murphy and Hooten.
Excuse me, Caleb. Coming back to the piccolo trumpet playing explanations... Could you please recommend some oboe, flute or violin recordings or performers we may take as references of sound and style in baroque period scores? Thank you for all the knowledge and amazing music you share. Best wishes
Hi Carlos thanks for your comment- some of my favorites: Isabelle Faust, Maurice Steger, Fabio Biondi, Magdalena Kozena. For general baroque/early music interpretation, I also love Jordi Savall, John Eliot Gardiner, Philipe Herreweghe, Ton Koopman
I am a trained trombonist, and I think of Placido Domingo when I play trombone. I play much more cornet these days. Now pushing age sixty, when I play cornet I think Louis Armstrong, who was really a cornettist all along. The number one issue I have with American brass players, other than horns, is vibrato. Somewhere that got lost. It's really a shame. Listen to recordings of Bud Herseth and God (Arnold Jacobs) and you will NEVER hear a note without vibrato. Maybe that's why Bud's replacement is Italian. And don't get me started on flat-as-a-board American brass bands!

analytical VS musical mindset.....GO!

Your sound is amazing!!!
Yes, what’s in my case video please
Wow... what a soft sound. I almost thought I was hearing a cello.
Hi, I am a former trumpet player and I really appreciate your talent.
Warmest sound I've ever heard on flugal. Close to the French Horn....
Glad you mentioned Phil Cobb. Have you ever collaborated?
Your sound is soooo amazing 👏👏👏
Love to hear about your instruments.

That is so gorgeous. How big is the bell? Rotary high brass tend to have narrower bores and larger bells than piston instruments.
This is awesome, thank you man.
Sei un grande

Come back, Caleb!
Let’s get a video on what’s in your case

@@CalebHudson Thank you very much for answering. Wish you all the best😊
Sound models: Yourself, Matthias Hofs, Wynton, Phil Smith, Hakan Hardenberger
My favourite song model is your song
